Flames

I felt so much for you that
Now I feel, almost nothing
except the dull aches that
Surge through my veins.

 
The memories are encapsulated
deep down, in the darkest corner
the first time I let you in and felt you
take my breath away.

 
Remember how we used to laugh?
I didn’t smile because it was funny,
but because the reflection of your eyes
Struck me like lightning.

 
I’ve told countless lies but
I’ll never forget how I told you
Everything is okay when you
Set my world up in flames.
